"I think that judging from the article, Yang Zhen should be the leader!"
Shen Yi just thought for a moment and then spoke first.
Yang Zhen is known as one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, and his articles are particularly outstanding. Others like Cen Wenwen, Zhang Dun, Hu Zongxian, etc. are either talented in both civil and military affairs, able to take charge of one party, or have the talents of prime ministers and outstanding internal affairs talents.
But when it comes to beautiful articles, none of them can compare with Yang Zhen.
Han Xizai nodded and said: "I also think that Yang Zhen is the best in literary talent, but in addition to literary talent, our imperial examination tests are more important than policy theory! In this regard, Cen Wenwen and Zhang Dun also have advantages!"
There are a total of four historical talents participating in the imperial examination this time.
After everyone read the list of imperial examinations, they also checked the history books to know the general abilities of these people.
In general.
Yang Zhen's literary talent is rare in the world, and just one poem "Linjiang Immortal" is enough to be passed down to the world. However, his ability in internal affairs and military strategy cannot be seen. After all, he was belittled by Emperor Jiajing in Yunnan and Guizhou for decades and had no chance to show off.
Cen Wenwen and Zhang Dun, one had served as prime minister under Li Shimin, and the other was a controversial prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. If nothing else, being able to become prime minister had already demonstrated their abilities.
After all, the prime ministers in the Tang and Song Dynasties were not as devalued as the academicians in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Where's Mr. Bu?"
Wang Jing's eyes fell on Bu Zhi.
Bu Zhi said: "I think all of these are possible, but I am more optimistic about Zhang Dun... After reading Zhang Dun's information, I think this man is a rare great man in the world!"
Xie Hui and the remaining people also said at this time: "I think what Privy Bu said is very true..."
Zhang Dun, a famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty! He is not as famous as Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan, but he has done no less than them.
Moreover, both Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi thought about reforming the country and strengthening the country, but in the end they all ended miserably.
However, Zhang Dun really implemented the new law forcefully and accumulated strong national power through it. He commanded his clan brother Zhang Kai to attack Xixia, and fought successive battles, defeating Xixia and putting it on the verge of subjugation.
He also attacked Tubo and opened up the southwest... His civil and martial arts were stronger than those of Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi.
However, he had a stubborn character and was too proud, and his reputation was far inferior to others. Even after Song Huizong succeeded to the throne, he was included in the party of traitors, and Song Gaozong ordered that his descendants would never be allowed to enter the officialdom.
Wang Jing read Zhang Dun's information and also had a good impression of him.
Compared with Cen Wenwen, who is not showy, Zhang Dun, a talented person who must show his sharp edge and has a strong personality, is more suitable for the current Huai army.
"Well...the three of them are all good. No matter who is the leader, they can spread the reputation of the imperial examination to all directions!"
Wang Jing said.
Among the four people, Hu Zongxian did not get their evaluation. It was not that Hu Zongxian had no ability, but that compared to Zhang Dun, Hu Zongxian's abilities were relatively similar and not as good as Zhang Dun.
So when discussing the leader, just exclude him.
Today is the first imperial examination.
Those who pass are scholars. The content of the test is not difficult. Scholars who have the reputation of being a scholar in history can basically pass. Even children have a good chance.
The exam time passed quickly.
On the second day, the door of the examination room opened and thousands of scholars filed out.
They all looked tired, obviously having consumed a lot of energy.
Only a few people were in high spirits and did not look tired at all.
After they came out, some of them who were familiar with each other immediately started discussing, telling each other about the content of the exam. Some looked happy, while others looked frustrated. They had various expressions.
After the scholar left, the examination room was closed again.
Thousands of test papers were sent to the palace, and dozens of officials began to be busy. Wang Guangyang personally took charge and began to mark the papers.
There was an interval of seven days between the first hospital examination and the second provincial examination.
On the fifth day, qualified people will be selected from thousands of scrolls.
This is the college exam.
A total of 6,374 people participated. More than 5,000 people passed the academy examination and obtained the title of scholar, and very few were eliminated.
Mainly the quality of the scholars who took the exam this time is very high.
In the original history, there were not only a few people who were elected as candidates, but also many scholars.
When the announcement was posted, some people were happy and some were sad.
The scholars who got the title of scholar were smiling, while the ones who were eliminated were extremely depressed. After taking the exam, these people had reached a consensus that this exam was not very difficult.
If you can't even pass this not-so-difficult exam, it only proves that your talent is limited and you need to continue studying hard...
Some scholars who failed to pass the college examination were unwilling to give up and had no choice but to continue trying in arithmetic, miscellaneous subjects and other subjects.
February 22nd.
The second rural examination continues. It is worth mentioning that the person who won the first place in the academy examination was Yang Zhen, known as the three most talented men in the Ming Dynasty.
The college examination is relatively simple, and the policy discussion is relatively broad, making it easier to show literary talent.
Zhang Dun and Cen Wenwen were ranked second and third respectively.
There is also an interval of seven days between the second provincial examination and the third general examination.
Waiting until the 29th, it will be the time for the examination.
but.
At this time, Wang Jing only focused part of his attention on the imperial examination, and transferred a large part of his energy to the inner courtyard of the palace.
Because Da Qiao had already sensed fetal movement.
You never know when the child will be born.
This is Wang Jing's first child, and it is also his bond in the world of China. He may also be the heir to the Huai Army's foundation...
Not only Wang Jing, but also Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others also devoted some of their attention to the palace.
Time passed as thousands of scholars were busy taking exams and Huai military officers were busy grading papers.
But in the blink of an eye.
It was already the early morning of March 1st.
February in the fourth year of Taichu had only twenty-nine days, and the trial ended on the first day of March.
There were originally about 5,000 scholars, but after the selection of the provincial examination, they became 3,000 talents.
The examination papers of these three thousand people were screened and eliminated.
Finally, a thousand Jinshi were selected.
Historically, only 300 or fewer Jinshi were selected during the imperial examination. This time, the Huai Army admitted a thousand Jinshi at once, which was more than three times the number.
Most of these thousand Jinshi will be assigned to various prefectures and counties and become the county magistrates and bosses of the prefectures and counties.
but.
After a thousand Jinshi are selected, these Jinshi will go to the palace to participate in the final palace examination. This time, the Jinshi will not eliminate people, but only rank them.
During the palace examination.
Wang Jing personally served as the examiner.
During the rural examination and the provincial examination, Yang Zhen was surpassed by Cen Wenwen and Zhang Dun in terms of policy making. Zhang Dun became the leader of the provincial examination and the provincial examination. The number one scholar in the imperial examination was selected between Yang Zhen and Zhang Dun. .
As for Cen Wenwen and Hu Zongxian.
Very stable in the top five.
It can only be said that the famous officials at the historical level are indeed extraordinary in ability, and gold shines wherever they are... Whether it is the imperial examination or other forms of selection, they can show their talents.
